London — Red Bull went into Sunday’s French Grand Prix thinking they could win anywhere if they beat Mercedes at Le Castellet, and Max Verstappen’s victory has lifted the Formula One title battle to another level.
The champions had until this past weekend led every practice session since the circuit rejoined the calendar in 2018, swept the front row in qualifying and won from pole position. In 2019, the last previous race, they enjoyed a one-two finish. Verstappen and seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton both have three wins each for the season, with the younger man missing out in Azerbaijan after a late high-speed blowout while leading comfortably. Without that failure, Verstappen’s championship lead would be much greater.
They are already 37 points behind Red Bull in the constructors’ standings after seven races. Red Bull are the only ones to have had both drivers win races, with Mexican Sergio Perez taking the chequered flag in Baku and looking like the strong teammate Verstappen had needed.
